Kim Heacox is an award-winning author, photographer, and motivational speaker. He lives with his wife in Southeast Alaska and is the author of several books including John Muir and the Ice that Started a Fire and the novel Caribou Crossing. His feature articles have appeared in Audubon, Travel & Leisure, Wilderness, Islands, Orion, and National Geographic Traveler. His editorials, written for the Los Angeles Times, have appeared in many major newspapers. When not playing the guitar, doing simple carpentry, or writing another novel, he’s sea kayaking with his wife, Melanie or watching a winter wren on the woodpile.
"A superb addition to Alaska—indeed, American—literature."
—Nancy Lord, former Alaska State Writer Laureate and author of
Early Warming "Kim Heacox’s love for the land and people of
Southeast Alaska shines forth in this character-driven saga,
brimming with craft, humor, and deft turn of phrase. Jimmy
Bluefeather easily makes the short list for the great Alaska
novel."
—Nick Jans, author of A Wolf Called Romeo "A convergence of ocean,
land, and spirit as only Kim Heacox can tell it, with wisdom,
humor, and grace. A welcome new novel of relationships,
forgiveness, and re-inventing oneself."
—Deb Vanasse, author of Roar of the Sea "Heacox, a writer and
explorer of renown, offers a genuine, funny and tender portrait
that is rare in the literature of the 49th state."
—Andromeda Romano-Lax, author of Annie and the Wolves "With humor,
passion, and respect, Kim Heacox brings us a voyage of discovery
like no other. . . You'll be torn between packing your bags for
Crystal Bay and living more fully in your own storied place."
—Maria Mudd Ruth, author of Rare Bird "The force that drives Jimmy
Bluefeather is the figure of Old Keb Wisting, the last canoe carver
in his Alaskan Indian village. Keb is a powerfully drawn portrait
of an indomitable spirit facing down his own death—with fierce
determination, blasting a Tlingit song into the cold wind blowing
off the glaciers. This is not just a well-crafted picture of an
elder; it is unforgettable, in the direct lineage of The Old Man
and the Sea."
—Doug Peacock, author of Grizzly Years "Every page glistens with
authentic genius born from Kim Heacox’s wise and deep-rooted sense
of place. . . The characters seem like people we’ve known; they
ring true, and feel vivid."
—Carl Safina, author of Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel
"A masterful work of fiction. . . A book to be savored."
—Bob Osborne, Northern Passages
Praise for On Heaven's Hill:"Heacox deftly weaves lyrical tributes
to the healing power of nature with a fast-paced plot that builds
to a heart-pounding conclusion." —Gwen Florio, author of Silent
Hearts and the Lola Wicks series“Kim Heacox is the bard of Alaska,
drawing stories from the power and music of the land itself. His
new book, On Heaven’s Hill, is truly a novel to match Alaska’s
mountains.” —Kathleen Dean Moore, author of Earth’s Wild
Music“Few writers know Alaska’s wildlands and human landscapes like
Kim Heacox. In this remarkable novel, humans and wild things circle
each other until they collide in gripping and inspirational ways.
Whether you seek stirring insights, entertaining prose, or
both, On Heaven’s Hill will capture your days and dreams
to the last page. This is Heacox’s finest work.” —Daniel
Henry, Pushcart Prize winner and author of Across the Shaman’s
River: John Muir, the Tlingit Stronghold, and the Opening of the
North“On Heaven’s Hill is the kind of story the planet needs
right now.” —Kimi Eisele, author of The Lightest Object
in the Universe“A dazzling tale of a young girl, a desperate
father, and a silver wolf caught in the middle of a battle between
an Alaskan band of war veterans and corrupt land developers.
Another compelling read from the author of Jimmy
Bluefeather and The Only Kayak.” —Lynne M. Spreen,
author of Dakota Blues and We Did This Once Before
